Devas in Dvārakā, Brahmā’s Petition, and Uddhava’s Appeal
Prabhāsa Departure Set-Up
अवतीर्य यदोर्वंशे बिभ्रद् रूपमनुत्तमम् । कर्माण्युद्दामवृत्तानि हिताय जगतोऽकृथा: ॥ २३ ॥
avatīrya yador vaṁśe bibhrad rūpam anuttamam karmāṇy uddāma-vṛttāni hitāya jagato ’kṛthāḥ
至上主啊,您降临于雅度王族,显现无与伦比的超然圣体,并为全宇宙之福祉而施行宏伟的神圣戏游。
This verse states that the Lord descended in the Yadu line, revealed His supreme form, and enacted vast divine deeds for the welfare of the whole world.
Uddhava is speaking directly to Lord Sri Krishna, praising His avatara and His world-benefiting pastimes.
See divine teachings and sacred history as meant for universal upliftment, and align one’s actions with “hitāya jagataḥ”—service, compassion, and devotion that benefits others.
